Did you know that NFL quarterback Parick Mahomes and his fiance Brittany
Matthews have been dating since high school? Oh yeah, Brittany's also a pro
athlete. So is their coupling truly a match made in heaven? Keep watching to find out.
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews started out as friends at Whitehouse
High School in Whitehouse, Texas. When he was a sophomore and she was a junior,
Mahomes gave her a card and rose on Valentine's Day, taking their relationship to the next level.
"From them on I think that's where I just kind of started getting a crush on him and then
boom we just fell in love."
Their seemingly normal beginnings are apparent if you scroll back to 2013 on
Mahomes' Instagram account. There are typical high school posts of the two before fame,
like casual dinner dates and collages wishing Matthews a happy 18th,
then 21st birthday. In a 2013 Instagram post, Mahomes said this about Matthews:
"Love her and hope her 18th is the best!"
That same year, Matthews shared a picture of a cookie cake Mahomes used
to ask her to his senior formal dance, writing in the caption:
"Cute and simple."
Patrick Mahomes
is known as one of the NFL's highest-paid players, but his fiancée, Brittany Matthews,
is an athlete in her own right. After graduating high school in 2013, she played college soccer
at the University of Texas at Tyler. The school was close to home, so she was still able to cheer
on Mahomes during his senior high school sports career. He went on to play football at Texas Tech,
and the two had a long-distance relationship while they both worked to further their careers.
The distance grew more in 2017 once Matthews graduated and went to Iceland to play professional
soccer. This was the same year Mahomes was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs,
and life for the couple would change forever. Once Matthews' team won the league,
she returned to the United States to be with Mahomes in Kansas City. She became a certified
personal trainer and launched her own fitness and fashion website called Brittany Lynne Fitness.
"I found that my passion was in fitness and helping others."
She also co-owns KC Current, Kansas City's professional women's soccer club.
Being in a relationship with someone like Patrick Mahomes comes with fans — and critics — of
everyone around him. Brittany Matthews was very active on Twitter during Super Bowl LV [55],
expressing her anger with referee calls against her fiance's team.
While including a poop emoji as punctuation, Matthews tweeted "That was bull" after one of
the calls. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV 31-9, and after Kansas City's loss,
ESPN posted an uncaptioned picture of Mahomes with a blank look on his face during the game.
Matthews didn't like that, either, using emojis to call it "corny."
She faced backlash again in 2022 when she poured champagne over Kansas City fans.
Some social media users were quick to shame her for dumping cold liquid on freezing fans, while
others said she was simply celebrating the Chiefs moving on to the AFC finals. Matthews tweeted:
"​​I just wish I could do what I want without getting attacked every week."
A week later, Charlie Hustle Clothing Co. and the mental health organization Red Cars
teamed up to sell "Team Brittany" t-shirts. Matthews said she would
match the proceeds from the shirts and donate it to a campaign to end bullying.
In September 2020, Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews announced that
they were expecting their first child together.
In an Instagram post of the two holding a sonogram, Matthews wrote in the caption:
"Mom & Dad, taking a small detour to the wedding."
She continued to stay on-brand with Brittany Lynne Fitness during the pregnancy by regularly
posting workout videos with her baby bump. She and Mahomes also shared their pictures
from an extravagant pregnancy photoshoot in which she posed in a few ruffly gowns.
The images were criticized by some social media users who claimed the former soccer
star's body didn't look the best in the gowns. Brittany said on her Instagram story:
"Well ladies, not trying to look 'skinny' in my maternity pics,
I'm very pregnant and not here to try and make myself not look pregnant."
Regardless of public perception, the couple were overjoyed when Sterling Skye Mahomes was born on
February 20, 2021. The duo broke the news on — you guessed it — Instagram, with a picture of
Matthews wearing a necklace of her daughter's name and holding the newborn's hand. Sterling quickly
became a Kansas City Chiefs fan and appears regularly on both her parents' social media feeds.
Patrick Mahomes told Woof Republic that he used to be afraid of dogs.
Then, as he explained to the outlet, he gave Brittany a pit bull named Steel
for Valentine's Day in 2016, and his view of dogs was forever changed. Mahomes and
Matthews have been obsessed with their pooch ever since. He told Woof Republic:
"I hate how [pit bulls] get stereotyped as aggressive. Any dog can be aggressive,
it's basically the way they're raised. This is the sweetest pup ever."
The couple also adopted a cane corso named Silver in 2019. Matthews even created an Instagram
account for the dogs that has over 213,000 followers. The pups are often photographed
sporting Kansas City Chiefs gear in support of their dad. But they're not just Instagram
models. The dogs are also part of life events, like the couple's baby gender reveal party.
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany
Matthews are engaged to be married in 2022. In an Instagram post, Matthews said that the couple have
a date and a venue for the nuptials. However, they have kept that information private for now. Still,
the lack of details has not stopped eagle-eyed fans from putting together their own theories.
In July 2021, Patrick's brother and social media star Jackson Mahomes shared a picture
of the Rolex he reportedly received from his famous bro as a groomsman gift
on his Instagram story. A note placed with the gift read:
"The time has come to help me with the task. Be my groomsman for the wedding weekend with help
from this flask! Drink up and let me remind, in March set your Rolex to island time."
Additionally, on Sydni Paige's Instagram story — who is a friend
of Brittany Matthews — she shows off the personalized robe and Cartier
Love bracelet the soon-to-be-bride reportedly gave to her bridesmaids.
